You can and preserve? I wish that I knew how to and had time to do that! Mom used to make tons of raspberry jam every years from our home-grown raspberries back in the day. Yet, she never has time anymore, and she never showed me how to... Maybe one day I will sit down and figure it out when I have time... My parents didn't show me either. I learned some from my grandma. I mostly self taught myself after graduating college. I'm so happy that I did! It's one of my favorite things to do. I think you would really enjoy it, Rita. This book will be very helpful to you if you decide to take it up. I don't do as much canning as I used to, because freezing is easier. But there are some things that just don't freeze well. Also, I ferment a lot of veggies now instead of can them because it's more healthy and easy.

It is almost like I have a bunch of Catholic Mothers here to tell me all about it with you, Clotilde, Vanna and Mundacormeum! Thanks and may God bless you!

I just finished this...yesterday: This house reminds me of some of the houses we saw when we visited Norway with the turf on top... I always used to wonder how hard it must be to get the mower onto the top of ones house...
